About the Course
Leaders often struggle to determine whether an employee needs coaching, corrective action, or formal discipline. Missteps in this area can lead to inconsistency, frustration, and increased risk for both the leader and the organization. This session provides leaders with a clear, practical framework for evaluating behavior and choosing the appropriate response.
Participants will learn how to recognize the difference between skill gaps, behavioral choices, and policy violations, understand the risks of misusing coaching or discipline, and apply consistent decision-making grounded in fairness and professionalism. Designed for leaders at all levels, this course strengthens leadership judgment and supports confident, defensible action.
